Understanding Skin Cancer and Its Causes
- Rising Incidence: An increasing number of cases each year due to factors like sun exposure and artificial tanning.
- Risk Factors: Fair skin, light-colored hair and eyes, numerous moles, family history, and outdoor lifestyle increase risks.
Comprehensive Approach to Skin Cancer Treatment
- Surgical Excision: Effective removal of cancerous lesions, often performed in outpatient settings under local anesthesia, with a focus on minimizing scarring and maximizing functional and aesthetic outcomes.
- Reconstructive Options: For more severe cases, reconstructive techniques, including scar revision and tissue transfer, restore appearance and function.
Ideal Candidates for Skin Cancer Surgery
- Broad Eligibility: Anyone with suspicious skin changes or diagnosed skin cancer. Early treatment is crucial for the best outcomes.
- Age and Health Considerations: Suitable for individuals of all ages, though certain health conditions may influence treatment plans.
The Importance of Prevention and Regular Check-Ups
- Preventative Measures: Protection from sun exposure, use of sunscreen, and wearing protective clothing are vital.
- Regular Skin Exams: Self-examinations and professional check-ups to catch any changes early, increasing the likelihood of successful treatment.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
- Personalized Evaluation: Dr. Weiss assesses each lesion and discusses treatment options, risks, recovery, and likely outcomes.
